Document Summary

Atp is the energy currency of the cell really good at being oxidized then reduced (good electron carrier) In the calvin cycle it gets reduced by moving the electron. The more light that is absorbed, the higher the rate of photosynthesis. The colour of an object is the colour that is not absorbed. If previously an object absorbed wavelengths and it can now produce chlorophyll b it has a new additional wavelength absorption. Z-diagram movement from photosystem ii to photosystem i, the energy level will move up. The electron has high energy because it is far from the nucleus and is easy to pull away, molecules at the top are easy to oxidize and closer through the pathway the electron gets transferred gets harder to oxidize. Therefore the process is spontaneous, moving from molecules held loosely then held tightly then energy pulls them away so they are loosely held again.
